Featured reviews
I really enjoyed this film. Fun comedy with some wild moments on screen. I recognized a lot of the city landmarks and thought the filmmaker was making a deeper commentary on the gentrification problem. The colors of the film are what captivated me the most. It's a very pretty film to watch. Refreshing, thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable. There are classic lines and performances in this film that are unforgettable. It's great to see a film that entertains without the usual violence and lowbrow humor one has come to expect. Intelligently written and performed. Great Escape and a breath of fresh air. This is one of those films that you will want to see again and again.
Once you watch the opening musical sequence you know that this is not going to be an ordinary film (whatever that is). It sets you up for the movie to come, which is comical, over-the-top, nostalgic and just a good time.
Ms. Wissoff is trying to make a point and does so beautifully with her bigger-than-life, outrageous characters and colorful, Bollywood-style design. It was like stepping back in time to the likes of I LOVE YOU ALICE B. TOKLAS -- only with music added.
I can definitely see this film gaining a cult following if enough people see it.

I saw the film at a film festival in Los Angeles and was really surprised. Normally, serious, depressing films go with low budget, but not funny.
This film had me on the floor, with crazy, unpredictable characters and situations.
The two sisters were great. The part of the love interest was also very cool and was so not type cast, love that. The acting was superb and the look was not low budget.
I would recommend the film to anyone who loves quirky comedies and wants to just laugh for an hour or so.

This is a cute rendition of the state of Eastern philosophy, after having been melt down to a hysterical conclusion.
The characters are exceedingly plentiful with a full array of assorted weirdness's.
The music is as complex and varied as the range of emotions that are displayed at an alarming rate.
The ukulele is used as well as the sitar to great effect.
I liked the blind man in particular, and would like to see a sequel featuring him.
All in all, I have to scream out Hari Truman!

This wonderfully fabulous and crazy comedy is one hell of a good-time popcorn-movie. The style is similar to Waterboy, and other large, comic Adam Sandler movies. Jack Black and Austin Powers'- style movies come to mind. Larger than life; true Molieresque Comedia del'Arte in a movie format. This element makes it very classical and also very modern, and so much fun. There is a sense of in the moment improvisation that permeates the world of the film. The color is amazing and beautiful to the eye. The director has a wonderful visual sense in addition to her ability to cut to great music. A comedy about the 60 ties...maybe...but a comedy of human foibles of any era...definitely
